Ma chère France.

I once looked for greener pastures.

Life was good until it wasn’t and I learned absence only makes the heart grow fonder.

Complicated, argumentative, rigid (except when it isn’t,) volatile, standing up to old stereotypes (and validating others,) always interesting, never boring, breathtakingly beautiful and varied (especially off the beaten path.)

In short a lot more than the home of scrumptious cheese and wine.

It’s my privilege to continue sharing La Belle France as I see it, here on the France with Vero blog, on Substack and in online French conversation classes.

Bonne fête nationale, France !

I love you just as you are.
